Seven Quick and Simple Reminders for Healthy Skin
Healthy skin is a sign of good health. The skin is the largest
vital organ in our body comprising of about two billion cells and
has a surface area of around two square meters.
Oftentimes, the radiant, glowing and smooth skin of a person
gets our attention, and be ultimately envious. The truth is nobody
can blame us. A beautiful skin is always worthy of attention and
praise. It spells great responsibility for the person to take care
of his skin that way. And although only very few people can
actually have the perfect skin and complexion, we too can do
something to bring out the best in our skin.
Here are quick and simple ways that we can care for our
skin.
1. Nourish your skin by eating the proper foods. This means
healthy and balanced diet. Healthy and balanced diet promotes our
general well- being and optimizes our body to function at its best.
To have a healthy skin, eat plenty of seed food i.e. fruits that
contain seeds, vegetables - organic vegetables are better as it
contains additional nutrients.
2. Drink plenty of water. The recommended eight glasses of water
a day is essential in maintaining the skin's elasticity and
suppleness. Water also clears your skin and aids in the proper
elimination of waste. Remember, less waste products in your body,
more beautiful skin.
3. Exercise regularly. Exercise is good for our heart and body.
Even our skin benefits with exercise by increasing blood
circulation and thus bringing enough oxygen and nutrients to the
rest of our body. Exercise also triggers the body to produce more
sebum that is the body's natural moisturizer.
4. Be smoke and alcohol- free. Smoking tends to destroy the
Vitamin C in your body, damage the elastic tissues that keep the
skin tight. Drinking liquor on the other hand tends to expand your
blood vessels causing red spots and itchiness on your skin.
5. Cleanse it. Cleaning plays an important part in the overall
wellness of your skin. Experts agree that we should gently clean
our skin; tone it; moisturize it; and exfoliate it.
6. Protect your skin. Harsh elements can severely damage your
skin and can lead to irritation and infection. Wear sunscreen with
at least SPF 15 every time you go out of the sun. For outdoor
activity, use SPF 45 because you'll be perspiring, which dilutes
the sunscreen. For those who are very fair, who have red hair, blue
eyes and freckles, add a total block that contains titanium or
zinc.
7. Rest. Get plenty of rest. You are giving your skin a time to
rejuvenate and heal while you rest. Stress is extremely bad for
your skin and body. It indirectly creates instability in your
hormonal system, which in turn leads to more skin problems like
breakouts and acne.

Importance of Your Skins
pH
One of the most important roles of our skin is to protect our
'insides' from the external environment, acting both as a barrier
and a filter between 'outside' and 'inside'. In addition, the skin
is involved in regulating our body's temperature, like when we have
a fever or we're physically working hard, we tend to sweat, which
is the body's way to attempt to lower the temperature.
